Andrea Clegg

Andrea has over 40 years experience in Criminal Law. She has worked for both the prosecution and the defence. She has become only too aware that access justice is limited for so many who cannot afford the fees for legal representation so has developed a series of courses so that people facing criminal charges in the Magistrates Court can effectively represent themselves on a guilty plea/exceptional hardship argument and a trial.
